I would say EVGA X58 build, as 1156 is a dead end of sorts. If you ever want to upgrade, make sure you have 1366 (new hex-core anyone?). X58 also has much better multi-GPU support (with 16x/16x). If I were to go 1156, I would also consider an EVGA board due to their solid designs and amazing support. I would call them the best support out there.
